This was my first visit to Chili's and it was an alright experience. The food isn't at all bad and comes reasonably priced, but it's in the AppleBee's vein of quality as well as ambience of the restaurant. Which isn't bad, but nothing to particularly write home about. I had the "Crispers" (chicken tenders) and they aren't my favorite style of the dish, but the fries here are definitely yummy! The housemade ranch is runny, but delicious! The buffalo ranch leaves something to be desired for me personally. But the pricing was pretty decent. Our server was absolutely fantastic! Attentive and very chill with a sense of humor! Really made the experience! read more

We go to this Chili's around twice a month for years. Sometimes our food is barely warm, but our servers are always happy to correct any order mistakes. Their monthly margaritas are always delicious. The servers are nearly always attentive. Yesterday was Father's Day and our sons wanted to take their Dad to Chili's. We sit down and the server starts taking our drink order. Both sons were going to order beer until the server asked me for my ID. I am 64 years old with an aging face and a full head of gray hair. My husband seated next to me looks just like Santa Claus. When we go out to eat I never bring my purse. Why? BECAUSE I HAVE NOT been Carded in DECADES. Everyone at the table thought the waiter was kidding, until he wasn't. Neither son ordered beer and I didn't get my margarita. Also, I have never been carded at this Chili's EVER. My husband's food was lukewarm. My son's food was so steaming hot he had to set it aside to cool off because he burnt his tongue. The waiter? He did the same to people at other tables around us who looked just like us: Definitely senior citizens. The funny thing is both men and women decided to get water. One couple left without ordering food. The manager may want to teach the waitstaff how to THINK. The waiter needs to seek a new line of employment. read more

I have always had a good experience with Chili's and this one did not disappoint. We arrived around 11:30am, a bit after they opened. It was good timining because as our meals arrived you can see a line beginning at the front door. Service was good and server was friendly. Drink came within a reasonable time and the food was not too far behind them. My burger was good, but the brisket was a bit on the dry side so the bbq sauce on the bottom bun was a needed relief. The burger was cooked well and the fries were perfectly seasoned. My wife enjoyed her mushroom Swiss burger, but she ordered it without tomatoes and it came with tomatoes. They offered to remake it, but my wife chose to just remove them and move on. The menu does not say the burgers are made with a brioche bun, so my wife ate the burger without the bread as brioche is too sweet to her. My stepdaughter enjoyed her triple dipper appetizer especially the mozzarella squares and the chicken dippers. Other than the small things, the experience was really good and I would return. The small things are not egregious enough that their star rating should be impacted beyond losing a single star. You could see all the staff was working hard so their hard efforts are worth rewarding. read more

Our waiter was funny yet professional. Had great knowledge of the entire menu and was very kind to my son.

Everything is good ,and a big size for our Chinese stomach.we Can't eat it and bring many to the house for next day's breakfast read more

Service was a little slow but it was also Valentines so understandable. Food is pricey, was $70 for two people, we got 3 mozzarella sticks, ($10), cajun pasta and the Ancho Salmon. Ancho Salmon was delicious, the lime wedge really helped sell the flavor of it as a whole but the broccoli was lacking in flavor. Rice was extremely dry and hard which was disappointing but overall really good! :) read more

Popped in on a whim while staying in the area. Crazy impressed with Madison, the bartender. She was talkative and also attentive to her tables and staff. This girl hustled! For a Mon night, just wanting to have a drink before heading back to my hotel, this was perfect....very welcoming. I will be back when I am back in town. read more

Omg I do love Chili's and this one in Maine is no exception. Tried the brisket burger wow... zero regrets.

Ordered door dash, missing 2 items, and an item was messed up. Would not recommended.

Gabe the host who seated us was wonderful! He has a great personality for the service industry. I've worked in this industry for years and I was very impressed with his diligence. Felix our server was polite and seemed competent. I ordered soup and salad, very basic. My husband and son had entrees. It wasn't extremely busy but it was taking a long time for our food to arrive. Finally all of our food arrived and I was given a salad and was told it would be another 10 minutes for the soup because they were cooking it and did I want a different soup. Information that would have been nice much earlier. My husband's fries were cold so they'd obviously been sitting a while. I said no thank you just take my meal off the ticket by then I was irritated. The manager never came out to see if they could make it right or apologize. Poor management, poor training and total lack of caring about customer service. We've been to Chili's all over the country and we were all disappointed in our service! read more

First off, the server was awesome. However, that's about all I can say good about my first visit. After waiting over a half hour we were informed that my meal was accidentally sent to the wrong table and they'd have to remake mine. When it finally arrived, everything but the steak was cold. They gave me two slices of cheesecake for my trouble and I still paid $50 for the meal. I will never return. read more

WOW...Not a big fan of casual chain dinning but this chili's in MAINE has the best staff and that will bring me back every time. The staff is well trained and really does a great job of keeping things full and getting you in and out and happy while you are there..great parking lot and clean bathrooms. oh yay and the food is good as well, smash burger fries drink salad all you can eat chips and salsa $11 bucks, last time i checked that is cheaper thaN McPoopies and wendys or BK.. read more

Great service and good food! Loved it Crispy chicken tenders were perfect for lunch read more

I don't normally write reviews like this, but something needs to be said about the management at Chili's. Thursday, February 1, I was recently dining at Chili's in Bangor. I had a seat at the bar and was watching a hockey game. My bartenders name was Rylan and asked a short young brown hair kid to cut lemons for him. The kid agreed and grabbed a knife to start cutting lemons. But before he could even get the first chop in a large female, wearing a chilis polo comes running out of the kitchen screaming at the poor kid cutting the lemons. Left the restaurant sclient. Embarrassing. I have never seen a kids face seem more ashamed. It was extremely unprofessional, and honestly someone in that position should not act in that manner. I can only hope something can be done about this. read more

Ordered the ancho salmon to go. It was raw. I sent the photo along with the complaint to Chili's. I received a )10 gift card . Woo hoo. That won't cover the cost of what I paid for the salmon which was fed to the dog. Applebees is just down the road and they have salmon that is good and is even cooked read more

Everything met or exceeded our expectations! Server was wonderful as well! It was a very busy weekend in Bangor and were so grateful we were able to call ahead for seating. read more

The service was ok I ate there a few times but when I got the Chicken Crispers it was dry and stringy over all everything was decent

Probably the best takeout I've gotten in the Bangor area. Extremely fresh and delicious

Is Chilli's gourmet food, no, did this visit exceed the "brand expectation" yes. My 5 star review is based on the brand expectation, not necessary being a "5-star" restaurant. There is certainly better Service: We had a young server who worked hard and tried to meet our needs. He was friendly and when he wasn't sure of something, went and asked. He wasn't polished, but the effort was there. This Chili's employed a food runner, and this worked really well. Food/Bar made it was exceptional quickly to the table and the food was "hot". The food runner was helpful and polite. The service was actually quite good for a Chill's. Food: It was what you expected. Nothing was poorly done, everything executed and tasted as it should for a Chilli's. Food was properly cooked, tasted pretty good and it came to the table quickly and was "hot". Checkout was easy with the automated payment system. I appreciated the it supports Apple Pay which makes it even easier to pay. read more

The food was ok, a little undercooked like the fries. It seemed really understaffed because we waited a long time before we could order. Our Waiter was a nice guy, but noticed a short, young dark haired girl who seemed really abrasive and short tempered with a customer who was sitting alone at the end of the bar. He wore a veterans hat and something was said and she shouted at him, which drew everyon's attention. The customer just lowered his head and she stormed out with her coat and purse. I overheard another bar customer say that she does that a lot. My question is, why is she still employed there if someone more even tempered could take her spot? read more

The chips and salsa resulted in an entire end of a tomato in our dish, but over all not the worst I've had. Our actual meals made up for this mistake! read more

Love coming to Chili's. I always love the food. The chicken fajitas are to die for and the chicken enchilada soup is amazing. If you haven't yet. I highly suggest trying a blue lagoon for a drink. So yummy! Wait staff is always friendly and the food is always good!! read more

Chili's is known for their fajitas. I've enjoyed them for years at various chilis locations. Yesterday I visited the chilis in Bangor. I ordered chicken fajitas with corn tortillas Corn tortillas have to be warmed on a skillet. Mine came out absolutely raw. They were disgusting. The chicken, onions, peppers were not seasoned correctly. It was extremely bland. I give this location 2 stars because the service was excellent. But the food is by far the worst I've had at a chilis. read more

Chili's is always a safe bet in Bangor. Service staff is always friendly and outgoing. Manager does the dinner check in thing to make sure everything is okay and tasting great. Restaurant is always clean. In general the model corporate model. In general for me it is always a good choice to take out of town guests that frown upon the local options or the family when we want a quick sit down dinner option. read more

Always a great atmosphere and great food. Friendly wait staff, our family loves coming here. BBQ Ribs are a must! Love the meal deals read more

Bangor is becoming more and more diverse with their food options these days, there are a lot of fantastic locations to choose from, and despite being a chain restaurant, this Chili's is one of those fantastic locations. The food is consistently delicious and the variety of options keep each experience fresh. However, what makes this particular location shine is the cleanliness of the location and the courtesy of the staff. They're almost always polite and on point with their service, and honestly, the only thing keeping me from giving it five stars is a few bad experiences I've had here. But overall I highly recommend this place for the great food and atmosphere. 4/5 Would definitely come back again. read more

I have lived in Bangor for quite some time now but had never gone to Chili's until tonight! My girlfriend and I decided to go and we were very pleased! Our waitress was very friendly and the food was delicious! Sign up for Chili rewards and get chips and salsa for free! The service was so fast we were in and out in less than 30 minutes! I am definitely going to Chili's again after this experience! read more

my sister and I went for lunch and Olivia was amazing and attentive and the food was absolutely delicious. was def a great lunch.

This is there version of well done. Not even close. Also the potatoes and veggies were cold. Not happy with this visit. read more

My family and I had a feast here after a long drive from Portland. We decided to each get the $10 deal. It consists of a drink, appetizer, and entree. Yes this is true, all this for $10. We definitely did not leave hungry. Our waiter was super friendly as well. I wish I could say I'd come back, but I probably won't be visiting Bangor again. read more

A restaurant with a heavy focus on Tex-Mex for the menu but have plenty of options for people that aren't interested in that. From chicken fingers (known as crispers on the menu), pasta, to burgers. Everyone can find something they like here at a reasonable price and good service. Even when this place is busy service is still reasonable. It also always seems that they are trying to change the menu up at least slightly seasonally to keep giving new options to customers. I have tried everything from their chicken burrito, chicken crispers (multiple sauce variations), to burgers, to their Cajun chicken pasta and have been happy every time with taste and quality. The most recent visit I had the new chicken crispers and waffles that were filling and spicy from the chicken with sweetness from the waffles, a match well made. Along with the el presidente margarita for a steal at 5 dollars that comes to your table in a shaker that can get you around 2-3 pours into the glass. Can't complain about the deal of 2 for $22 where you get an appetizer to split with two entrees from the list of about 10. Highly recommend this restaurant, bring the whole family! read more

Horrible! Chilis always used to be one of my favorite places but not recently. Tonight we decide to try Doordash for the first time. The Door-Dash service was wonderful, quick and flawless but I can't say the same for the food that was delivered. First off lets start with my salad. Wilted, slimy and brown lettuce that I wouldn't feed to an animal. I am missing the cucumbers so it's just lettuce, onion and croutons. Now the Texas cheese fries- they are so UNDERCOOKED that the cheese isnt even melted, fries feel raw when eating and are currently in the oven to try to salvage part of our meal. Then last is the beef, ranch, bacon quesadilla...no pico. Is soggy and wet (bad container) taste like cheap steam-um steak was used. This is all so disappointing. I just spent almost $35 on a pile of crap. I should've just had a bowl of cereal. Totally ruined our night!! read more

I often travel for business and end up eating dinner solo at restaurants. Chili's is usually a safe bet for me as I am familiar with the menu and try to eat more on the healthy side. They do have a few healthy options. I've been here to the location in Bangor a couple times in the last year and had never had an experience like my most recent one. Upon arriving, when the hostess realized I was alone, she asked me if I could sit in the lounge instead. She told me it was 'seat yourself' and started to walk away. I politely requested a booth in the regular restaurant. and explained I wasn't planning on ordering any alcohol. When you are by yourself and aren't planning on having a drink, it doesn't make sense to sit in the bar area. She seemed bothered and muttered something about checking to see if a table was open. Half of the restaurant was empty. When I was given a booth to sit at, a waitress came over. At first she was fine but as time went on she was increasingly more bubbly and so over the top that I began to wonder what her deal was. She asked me if I wanted chips and salsa and I said, sure, why not. I didn't realize these were no longer complimentary and you are charged $3.29 for them. She didn't explain this, either. It's not that I can't afford an extra three bucks, I just felt she should have mentioned it. Honest to god, I have never had more nasty, stale chips at a Chili's or anywhere else in my life. I swear they took the whole container of salt and dumped it all over them. I should have said something, and I would have if I realized I was paying for them, but I didn't. I kept fishing around looking for a normal one and after a few minutes of this I gave up on them. My dinner came out so fast I was now wondering what on earth I did to these people to have them make me want to leave so quickly. Normally quick is good. That night, everything was dry. Probably from being zapped so quickly. I was starving so I ate it. The manager came out and asked all of the patrons individually if things were ok, but he didn't really seem like he wanted to engage you in conversation. By this point I was so uncomfortable I just wanted to get out of there. I will continue to go to other Chili's locations, as I've had great service and decent food at many others in my travels. Just not in Bangor. And I'll speak up next time instead of just writing a bad review on a website. read more

The menu was standard Chilli's food. What made this visit great was the service. My wife has a gluten allergy. When we told the waitress this she went WAY out of her way to find dishes my wife could eat and even went back to talk to the cook. That was on top of the already great service she was providing. There wasn't any empty glass on the table. She was right there with refills before that could happen. read more

My husband and I tried to eat here last night, however there were a few things that need to brought to the Chili's management team's attention. When we entered and were seated, the hostess asked us if we would like a drink menu....when we said no, she handed us two Word documents that were intended to take the place of a menu. There were no prices included on either document, nor were there menu item descriptions. That made it very difficult to figure out how or what to order. We sat at a booth in the bar, and there were several people standing by the entrance to the kitchen....however, we did not speak to any of them because no one came to our table. NO ONE. After five minutes, the mister and I looked at each other and left. Applebee's was happy to have our business.. read more

Wow! This was our first time at a chilli's and we will definitely be back! Too bad they're none back home! Those fajitas were amazing.

The wait for a party of 5 wasn't bad to get in and our drinks came right away. The reason they are getting 2 stars is that they forgot my meal and then made a bunch of excuses. They said the comped the meal but by the amount of the bill and no alcohol was consumed just water I would say very little was taken off. It will be a long time before I return. They can't blame the the over site of forgetting me Mehlman being to busy. read more

The food was actually really good and worth 5 stars. The only reason it gets 3 stars is because of the extremely long wait time. We came in with a party of 8 during lunchtime in the middle of the week (Tuesday I think) and the place was pretty dead but it still took us about an hour and 45 minutes to get out of there. More people might come here during their lunch breaks if they could get in and get out in a timely manner. Maybe they were just short staffed that day. I'm not sure. If that was the case though they could have mentioned it and it could be forgiven. Don't read more

Well, I'm really sad to report this, but I think the public should be aware. My husband & I frequent this location about 4 times a month. Being that I'm such a creature of habit, I order the steak and shrimp fajitas every time. Today we went in, and I ordered the same thing. As I was eating I noticed something that looked off. It looked like a clear transparent tube sticking out of the steak. I looked at it and told my husband, and we let it slide. My mistake! I found it in the meat itself 3 more times. We called over the manager and she said, "It was the distributors fault and that it looked like there were "VEINS" in the meat! Oh my, sad to say, but we will not be going in there again. read more
